Plot or reshape 2D array matplotlib

Question

i have no idea how can i plot scatter with a 2D array of this type:

a=[[x0,t0],[x1,t1],...,[xn,tn]]

the plot should be x vs t, maybe instead of doing this with a maplotlib routine be able to reshape a to obtain:

a=[[x0,x1,...,xn],[t0,t1,...,tn]]

thanks!

Assuming your data starts in the format a = [[x0, t0]]:

Split x & t into separate lists, then you can pass them into matplotlib.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [i[0] for i in a] t = [i[1] for i in a] plt.plot(x, t)

You can use numpy.transpose:

import numpy as np a=[["x0","t0"],["x1","t1"],["xn","tn"]] np.transpose(a) # array([['x0', 'x1', 'xn'], # ['t0', 't1', 'tn']], # dtype='<U2')
